    Default New AIM software and firmware

    AIM just recently released new firmware and software. Race Studio 2, GPS manager, and others are available.

    My original cd versions were not compatible with Windows 8, the new versions are.

    In previous versions of the installer, I've had various problems that were only solved by removing the old version, deleting the old folders, and restarting the computer before the fresh install. Most had to do with the way the Windows USB drivers were loaded, but who knows? When in doubt, nuke everything from high orbit and start over.

    Default What am I doing wrong?

    I am having no luck in Windows 7 to get the USB working. Tried just about everything 4 times. It used to work, but my guess is a patch or upgrade killed some kind of permission

    So now I am using an ancient Windows 2000 system to talk to the car.

    Any clever tricks other than what is on the aimsport website?

    not sure, but had issues when motec software wouldn't run under windows 7, had to enable it to run as an administrator. and then had to download the microsoft fix for older help file formats so that i could read those as well.

    Again, I've more than once had upgrades kill the USB functionality. Completely nuke the old installation, restart, and the installer can then load the proper USB drivers. There's a way for experts to load the drivers without such extreme measures, but I don't know what it is.

    Oh, and I got better results in Win8 with what was then the latest-once-removed version (2.52.00). I haven't dared try the one out this month.

    My computer asked me if I wanted to run the software under compatibility mode. Does that make sense? Mine is Windows 8.

    Did you try uninstalling the upgrade, restart your pc, reload the upgrade, restart your pc, then run the new version?

    I ran all three upgrades and they all worked after I did a restart.
